Catching Quality Issues Before They Multiply
During Production Inspection (DUPRO), also known as In-Process Inspection, is conducted while manufacturing is still underway—typically when 10–60% of the order is complete. It identifies quality deviations early, enabling suppliers to take corrective actions before large-scale issues occur.
BQCIS inspectors evaluate semi-finished or finished units directly from the production line. They check workmanship, dimensions, labeling, and process adherence against approved specifications and samples. Any discrepancies are documented and reported in real time.
This proactive approach minimizes rework, avoids shipment delays, and ensures downstream inspection phases (like Pre-Shipment) run smoothly. DUPRO helps brands and importers maintain consistent quality, reduce costs, and build trust in supplier performance.
Key DUPRO Activities
Key Benefits of DUPRO Inspections
Early Defect Identification
Detect quality issues mid-production to prevent widespread manufacturing errors.
Reduce Rework & Scrap
Early detection allows timely corrections, minimizing waste and saving costs.
Verify Process Control
Ensures that key manufacturing processes are consistent, reliable, and conform to standards.
Keep Production on Schedule
Prevent major disruptions by identifying root causes before final inspection phases.
Success Story
DUPRO Identifies Fabric Substitution in Apparel Production
A global apparel brand needed to verify that its supplier used the correct premium fabric blend during production.
BQCIS conducted a DUPRO audit when 30% of the order was complete. Inspectors verified the fabric rolls in use, labeling, and in-process sewing quality against approved samples.
The inspection revealed partial substitution of lower-grade fabric. Immediate corrective actions were taken, preventing full-batch defects and ensuring order integrity.
